Warning signs…
Back-dated photo posts
No horizontal surface without vertical stacks running into piles.
All meals eaten out or ordered in.
Buying new clothes because of “no time to clean current clothes”.
Out of: resealable plastic bags, cleaning supplies, fresh fruit, clean bedding, basic ingredients.
Falling asleep with the TV on in mid afternoon.
Constant stream of sweets.
Isolating.
Involuntary weight gain.
Inability/refusal to plan.
Playing RPGs
Anxiety about all of the above.
I need to remember that April and May always kick my ass.
I need to remember that I should not agree to projects without at least a six month lead time.
I need to remember that making the first call is one thing, but that I also need to make the subsequent calls.
I need to remember that honest exhaustion is better than passive-aggressive time stealing from friends and coworkers.
I need to remember that every committment has a consequence, there is no simple “sure, of course I can do that”.

The school year has almost run its course. Saturday is graduation upstate. Already we’re discussing what we can do better next year. I have many committments over the next couple of months. And still my mind feels fuzzy and disengaged. There’s a lot of stuff I need to take action on, but I’m trapped in a kind of silence. The daily picture seems to be about the best I can do right now, and I’m forcing myself to keep typing on this entry in the hopes of getting back into the groove.
